Applied Modern Art

Morning Meds; 4 21 22

For those who have talented six-year-olds who can draw well, but lose their . . .

let’s say composure when they draw something, and it doesn’t look exactly like what they’re trying to draw.

Perfectionism at any age can be so daunting.

Buy a used Modern Art book and show them how you can recognize something even if it’s not exactly real looking.

They will even put it in a book.

Works wonders.

As we went through the book one of the pictures was a nude by Picasso. He looked at me in shock and spoke. “He doesn’t even have her things in the right place!”

Peaceful Experiences

Morning Meds; 4 20 19

You can imagine a silvery liquid viewing pool at the edge of your core.

In it is the reflection of your present reality.

If when looking into your shimmering pool, you find it troubling, stir the water.

When the ripples settle, look again with new eyes.

Our perceived reality is just a reflection of our thoughts, opinions, past influences, and it is easy to confuse our reflections as the only truth.

Reinterpretations, reassessments, and creative changes to our point of view, opens the doors to new peaceful experiences.

Peaceful Part of Impermanence

Morning Meds; 4 19 20

The peaceful part of impermanence is knowing that two hundred years from now all the concerns and drama around us will be gone.

All the energy associated with current events will have dissipated and reformed innumerable times and whatever is going to happen, will have happened.

If it is as we believe, our core essence will be as perfect as it is now.

We are always one with Source energy.

The only effect this now can have on that future then,

is that as a spirit, we will have evolved another lifetime or two.

Happy Hunting

Morning Meds; 4 19 19

If you look behind every dream or desire, you’ll find the wooden framing that props up the storefront image they are.

Our true joy must come from our core, not the attainment of projected illusions.

Our illusions lack substance and are impossible to hold.

There is a tremendous difference between,

“I would really enjoy this situation, experience, person or thing and that would be fun to have in my life.”

and

“I have to have this situation, experience, person or thing to be happy.”

One is freedom of choice and liberty and the other creates bars of imprisonment separating us from the joy of being grateful for what we have.

We are taught that happiness is outside of us, when in fact we are complete just the way we are.

We are not created by installments.

Pursuing our dreams is a part of growth, but if we pursue them for enhancement, instead of for deliverance, we free our spirit so we can enjoy the chase.

Happy hunting.

Zipper

Morning Meds; 4 17 20

Our lives are like a zipper.

On one side we have our experiences, on the other we have our beliefs.

Daily, we pull the two together.

Our beliefs shape our experiences, our experiences reshape our beliefs, which reshapes our experiences, which…and so it goes.

That’s the continuous process of change we call growth.

Sometimes we look ahead and see the tooth of an experience we would like to live, or we are introduced to a belief that would serve us better, but old beliefs interfere, and we get frustrated by the delay.

Keep pulling, for the meshing of these two components create our present moments and continually secures the garment of beliefs that cloth us.

Within us is all we need to be the creative designer of our lives.

Let’s create and wear what fits us best.

Let’s cloth ourselves with the innate beauty of our core.

Forgiving Ourselves

Morning Meds 4 17 19

After I was first introduced to the belief that we create our own realities and realized that I alone was responsible for my life, there came a time when I was asked by my Higher Power.

Have you forgiven yourself for the world you have chosen to create for yourself?

Are you aware that forgiveness proceeds change and growth?

Have you realized that everything you created was necessary to open your eyes?

Have you taken time to congratulate yourself on your creative genius?

Who else could have created such a perfect path to drive you to me?

Some of the least positive choices and actions end up bringing the most positive results.

We are unconditionally loved always.

Just Can’t Be Done

Morning Meds; 4 16 20

Trying to fit Whomever or Whatever it was that created this universe into one religious philosophy is like trying to fit an elephant into a peanut shell.

It just can’t be done.

Always bigger than our most exaggerated dream.

Definitely big enough to keep us safe.

Yet small enough to fit in our heart.

We are unconditionally loved always.
